i've never had problems with swap. my setup at the labs was diskless
"terminal" with lotsa ram and swap on /n/other. it never failed, tho swap
was really only there to cope with extraordinary circumstances.
i have a similar setup in sydney tho "other" is local.
killing a random process is not a solution. it's an egregious hack.

It's not automatic; you need to add something like
swap /dev/sdC0/swap

the swapping (paging) code but I've had good luck with it.
If you expect to swap regularly, you should keep any local file
systems on different disks from your swap space, or performance will
suffer badly when you swap. It's also possible to swap to a file
server (e.g., `swap /n/other/swap') but you'll want to use switched
Ethernet if you do that. If it's possible, it's almost certainly a
better idea to add more RAM to your machine.
